IBERVILLE PARISH, La. (WAFB) - The westbound lanes of I-10 on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge near the Whiskey Bay exit have reopened, according to a tweet from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.

DOTD had shut down the westbound portion of the interstate near mile marker 127 on Jan. 31. so crews could repair damage to the roadway sustained from a crash in 2019.

All lanes are now open I-10 West from mile marker 127-125 on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge due to construction that has ended early. Congestion is minimal.
